Answer 1

you can also have to use $scope instead of attrs. then you will get array object, otherwise you will get an string.

     scope:{
            title: "@",
            author: "@",
            content: "@",
            cover: "@",
            date: "@",
            tags: "="
        },


link: function(scope, element, attrs){
            scope.tags = scope.tags
        }

If you're accessing this array from your scope, i.e. loaded in a controller, you can just pass the name of the variable:

Directive:

scope:{
        title: "@",
        author: "@",
        content: "@",
        cover: "@",
        date: "@",
        tags: "="
    },

Template:

<post title="sample title" tags="arrayName" ... >
